Default Widebody wheel offset question.....

Ok, almost done with my widebody GS body conversion. My wheels are aftermarket in the following sizes and was wondering what size adapter is going to make them flush with the fenders:
F: 19x9.5 with 54 offset
R: 20x10.5 with 70 offset

Thanks in advance, any help/info is greatly appreciated

I believe, the Z06 wheels are 18 inch x 9.5 inch, +40 offset front and 19 inch x 12 inch, +59 offset rear. Measure spacers accordingly.

One you get the panels on the car, test fit the wheels and see how much they need to be pushed out to line up with the edge of the fenders.

You are more than likely going to need 1.5" wheel adapters (at least for the rear) or new wheels (and tires).
